carpingdiem, There are 2 bluebird fledglings. This morning, they were fed by their father, but by this afternoon, they were eating mealworms all by themselves! (proud) #birds #birding #birdsofmastodon #fledgling #bluebirds #birdphotography #nature #HoosierMast
In this set of 3 photos, a baby bluebird fledgling is on the left, with its dad on the right. There is a pile of dried mealworms next to them. The baby is paying no attention to the mealworms and is honed in on its dad, who picks up some worms and feeds the baby.
The adult male bluebird is on the right and the two fledglings on on the left. Dad had been feeding the pair, but when he got a bit too slow, one of the babies (at the top) started feeding himself.
